Standard Library Functions for C02 Programs
At the beginning of the program use the directives
#include <stdlib.h02>
The following functions are defined:
c = abs(b); Returns the absolute value of the two's-complement
byte b.
In two's-complement arithmetic, the unsigned values
0 - 127 are considered positive, while the unsigned
values 128 - 255 are considered negative.
c = atoc(s); Returns the numeric value of the string in array s.
Does not skip leading white-space characters and
stops when first non-digit character is encountered.
Overflows are ignored, so numbers greater than 255
will be returned modulo 256.
ctoa(c, &s); Stores the ASCII representation of unsigned byte c
as a null-terminated string in array s.
The array must be dimensioned to at least 4 bytes.
c = max(b, d); Returns the greater of the two unsigned bytes b and d.
c = min(b, d); Returns the lesser of the two unsigned bytes b and d.
c = mult(d, r); Returns the product of byte d times byte r.
Overflows are ignored, so results greater than 255
will be returned modulo 256.
c = div(n, d); Returns the quotient of byte n divided by byte d.
Remainders are discarded and division by 0 returns ??.
c = rand(); Returns pseudo-random number. Sequence repeats
after 255 repeated calls. The generator must be
seeded using the rands() function before the first
call to rand().
rands(n); Seeds the pseudo-random number generator.
If n is 0, the generator is seeded with a system
seed value. This should be used for normal operation.
If n is not 0. then it is used as the seed. This can
be used for program testing or when a predictable
pattern is needed.
Note: The system seed is generated by a counter or
timer. On systems that don't use a timer, the counter
is cycled by the keyboard routines, so the getkey()
or getchr() function must called at least once before
a rands(0) call.
Note: This library expects the following function to be defined
setsrc(&s); Set source string pointer and initialize index
along with the zero page variables
srclo,srchi: Source string pointer
as well as the transient variables
temp0 Temporary storage
temp1
temp2
and the static variables
random Psuedo-random number generator seed Value
rdseed System generated initial seed (counter or timer)
